3 get a house (2/2)

There is a door at the far end. I noticed a cord extending there. It seems that the clank-clank sound came from behind that door.

As I closed the door (I heard another clank-clank-clank sound), I noticed that there was a ”kan-nuki”, so I put the kan-nuki on, and entered a large room with a rather large table and several chairs.

Looking up, the ceiling was quite high. You can see what looks like a clapper, but from the way the sound muffles, I'm guessing that it wasn't that thing that made the sound before. Then there must be something else that made it sound.

I was curious, but I put it aside for a moment and looked around the room, where there were three doors in the corner. Opening one of them, I found that it seemed to be a bathroom.

I didn't see any bedding when I looked, so one of the other two must be the bedroom. I open the door on the other side. There's a fairly large desk and what looks like a bookcase. It seems to be a study.

I open the other door, and as expected, it's a bedroom. It is equipped with a decent-sized bed, a side table, and a small round chair, just like a business hotel. Now it's time for the big one.

I'll make sure you're ready to blacksmith.

Having said that, I would expect it to be adequately equipped.

However, I will probably be operating alone for a long time (I have no intention of taking an apprentice or anything like that for now), and I don't want to deal with something like a charcoal blast furnace for raw material production, but I would like to have something adequate.

I open the door at the back of the room with a half-expectation and half-anxiety. There are an anvil, hammering, and of course, furnaces to heat the crucible, as well as iron furnaces such as the hearth and furnace. All the so-called iron (steel) weapons, including western swords, Japanese swords, and, to a lesser extent, arrowheads, can be made here.

The use of these tools and devices were ”installed” when I arrived in this world, and I have some idea of how to use them.

Surely this will be worth the terrible headache I had. There is a small counter in the forge, and beyond that is a small space with a door that leads outside and is covered with a canopy.

I see, so this is where you do your business.

That is to say, the other side is the living space and this side is the workshop and sales area. It seems to be a gimmick that if you forgot to bolt the door of the living space while you are in the workshop, and a visitor comes in, you will be able to hear the clapper over here.

If you look at the door here, you can see a cord that leads to the living space. When you come to this door, it will ring over there, which is a very useful feature.

After checking out the room like that, I come back to the living room. I still don't feel like I'm going to live here completely.

That said, there's no way to go back out there, so you have to be prepared for that. Out there you're alone in the world, and the only person you'll have to worry about is your boss, if you're dead.

Well, all you have to do is practice ”there are plenty of alternatives,” and you may not be in trouble.

I shake my head to chase away the thoughts and focus on the future.

The moment I do, my stomach makes a gurgling sound and urges me to eat. Your body doesn't lie, even though it's my body, you sigh in some disgust.

There's probably some kind of food in the kitchen. I went to the kitchen through the door.
